Is this normal for a 13 year old girl (preferably girls only!)

Question

hey.. i get a lot of ppl asking me r u anorexic.. but im not!! and it really bothers me.. i mean, if you see me eat, you would think im a pig.. i have chocolate, oily foods, you name it.. one think that might explain my skinniness is cuz im a vegetarian (no meat or fish whatsoever).. i recently got my period and i've put on 10 pounds these past 2 years.. tell me if this is abnormal.. (btw, i've gone on my dad's side and everyone on his side is skinny and tall)

13 yrs old

5 feet tall

70 pounds

Answer 1

check it out my 19 year old cusin is probably 100 pounds well i dont know how much she weighs but he is tall and all bone and eats like a pig if thatas your metabolism it is! tell them to face it or matter of fact you dont have to answer to them at all. the period is water weight like you bloat and gain weight around your period drink a lot of water but its normal

Answer 2

its just your metabolism, you're fine,  and its normal, to gain 10pounds in a year so its normal

Answer 3

Im exactly the same way; but im 5'3>14>85lbs.

And i get TOLD im anorexic i have people saying "Why are you anorexic?" when you can cealry see me eating at school when its lunch .. bothers the h**l out of me.

No thats completely normal, dont worry about it, most kids would put on the 10 pounds in like a month haha.

And dont let people bother you .. its part of life i guess.
